WALES SHOW STRENGTH IN EUROS

Wales’ golfers enjoyed one of their best performances in recent years in the European Team Championships.

The men finished sixth in Europe – the first time they have reached the quarter-finals since the early 2000’s – the Boys secured their return to the top level of the European Team Championships, while the Girls reached the last four in Flight B.

“These are pleasing results because of the numbers of players who challenged across the various teams,” said Wales Golf performance director Gillian O’Leary.

“Wales usually have some strong individual performances which
sometimes transfer into strong team performances, but to have so many players across the teams showing themselves capable at this level is encouraging.

“It was great to see the Wales’ men back in the quarter-finals, taking on the top golf nations in Europe, while it is encouraging to see the boys getting back in the top flight with relative ease.

“We know there is a strong group of girls coming through the system and we would hope they can improve on their promising results this time round.”
